Papa's Angel Pie image

When it comes to family get-togethers, there is one thing Papa will always be remembered for, and that is his famous 'Angel Pie'. This is the first year that the whisk has been passed down, and I hope to one day pass it down to my grandchildren, too. Here's hoping it brings as much love to your table.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
20 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), coarsely crumbled
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint heavy cream
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and baking powder, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  • Fold crackers and pecans into the egg whites. Add vanilla and stir.
  • Bake pie in preheated oven until set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream with pinch sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream will form sharp peaks. Top cooled pie with whipped cream to serve.

This pie was a total disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I don't know what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

The crust on this pie was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I would definitely make it again, but I would try a different crust recipe.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a very well-made pie.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, but I really enjoyed this pie. The filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

I love the combination of flavors in this pie. The cream cheese and sour cream give it a tangy flavor that perfectly complements the sweet filling.
